13. Re-imagining social innovation through co-creation and design thinking
Our session
What do you think of when you hear the term "social innovation" in the field of international development? For some, VR and AI come to mind - but what if the communities who have a social need don't have access to high-tech tools - but do spend a lot of time on smartphones and social media?
What if, through a process of co-creation, they are at the center of designing a solution that works for them?
Why should you join?
You want to explore a different way of working within international development; you are intrigued about design thinking and the process of co-creation and want to rub minds with others with the same curiosity. All inquisitive and open minds are welcome!
